It's been my experience that the body needs the most water around breakfast. Which makes sense; more dehydration, more waste to clean out.
Fresh fruit actually digests faster and more easily than anything else. Which is why it's not a good idea to combine fruit with cooked starches, incidentally. It's not, AFAICT, fructose that's to blame, but the fault of complex carbohydrates acting in concert with fructose and slowing down the queue. I used to have similar problems with fruit; something I learned after I started eating more fruit was to leave it alone for at least an hour after a starch meal.
(The general rule of simple sugars digesting quicker/better if eaten alone also means that eating dessert first is, at least in theory, good for you)
